Love at first sight. That's what it was when I spotted this comfy guest cottage on
Chic Coles yesterday. Photographed by
Janis Nicolay and featured in
Style at Home magazine, this cottage was designed by
Colleen Sawatsky, owner of
Vintage Home in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The colors, oh the colors...
all so pretty! The breezy painted floors and furniture, delightful fabrics, crisp white walls, there is not one thing that I don't absolutely LOVE about this
home! I hope you all enjoyed it too, and have the best Labor Day weekend ever!

These bedrooms from the portfolio of New Jersey designer
Janet Simon are nothing short of beautiful! The rooms are so serene, perfect for unwinding after a long day. That first bedroom in particular is completely stunning...my gosh look at those windows! I LOVE the headboard and bedskirt fabric in the last image too. Have a look at her portfolio
here, the living spaces are equally as beautiful!

The sitting room in this home designed Julia Edelmann of
Buckingham Interiors + Design has to be one of the neatest I've seen! I am absolutely dying here over that fabric (
Flowershow from
Christopher Carr), the colors and oversize botanical print are complete perfection. (And the chairs look comfy too!) How awesome are those barstools in the kitchen?! They're covered in vinyl, but the nail heads keep them looking très cool! See more of the home

So many things to love about this
fantastic home designed by
lakbdesign! Not surprisingly it's all the walls painted Benjamin Moore's "Wythe Blue" that initially won me over. I knew this color must be special when long ago Seleta mentioned it on her
blog: "I worked our whole house around my favorite blue which I had painted on the walls of the master bedroom. Benjamin Moore: Wythe Blue HC 143". Recently I noticed the folks over at
GardenWeb had a lot to say about the pretty color too:
"It's a perfect blue/green IMO and the swatch doesn't do it justice. Especially next to the other colors -- it looks green but on the wall it's anything but."
"I swear it's like walking into a spa every time I go in the room. I love it."
"I also love Wythe Blue by BM. It is very similar to Quietude, but more saturated. Looks more like a true aqua, but still never baby-ish."
"We used BM Wythe Blue in our nursery (for a girl) and I absolutely love it. I can't say enough about how amazing that color is and it's a good blue -- works for a boy or a girl."
Get this though...what sealed the deal on my love was a comment I received last week from an in-the-know reader who revealed to me that
Wythe Blue is actually the color of the Draper foyer/staircase on Mad Men!! *squeal*

We stumbled upon the work of Erin Martin the other day and we think we're in love!
Her work is organic in a very sophisticated way. The words "organic" or "sustainable" get thrown around a lot these days but very few people get it right. We love her use of natural materials, muted colors and texture variety.
Her designs seem very original too-as no two houses are alike.
Here is a sample of her work:

You may recognize this beautiful nursery from a long time ago, it's one of my all-time favorites. But Holly of
Life in the Fun Lane has made some changes since I
first shared Wren's room, and I thought they were so cute I had to share. I just loved all the white, with the beautiful dark floors and touches of turquoise, but they've acquired some colorful fun pieces that bring more life into the space. Isn't that antique hand-painted cabinet incredible?! Holly first spotted it for $1100 but a year later scooped it up for only $140! What a steal! Read all about the room
here!
And now it's time to announce the winner of the Breakfast at Tiffany's Decoupage Tray from
Paris Hotel Boutique! *drumroll please* #183
Julie Susann
Congrats to her! And a huge thank you to Lynn for sponsoring this giveaway! And everyone else, don't worry...this was so fun I can't wait to do my next. (It's already in the works, and of course, it's turquoise!) With that, I hope everyone has a fun-filled weekend!
